As part of Homecoming festivities, join the College of Media for a screening and Q&A with filmmaker and UIAA 2025 Illini Comeback Award winner Annie Crawley (BS '90, journalism), with her film Blue Heart Ocean Soul. Crawley is an underwater photographer, children’s book author, and advocate for oceans and aquatic wildlife. The video takes viewers on an imaginary dive through the world’s oceans. The sharks, mantas, hammerheads, and more are filmed around the world from Palau to Galapagos, Indonesia to Belize. Screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.
